鈥淐hu, do you have a connection with Princess Mina?
That鈥檚 great, I鈥檓 not dissatisfied with you, Chu.
I鈥檝e been planning to bring in a batch of goods from Britain recently, but the inspections over there have been quite strict.
I鈥檝e already pulled a lot of strings, but the approval documents are still being held up.
The jewelry queen has a very deep royal background, and I鈥檝e heard that the Queen of Britain adores her.
If Princess Mina could intervene, that would be a great help to me.鈥
Han Zhengping has been busy laying out plans in Britain recently, and he needs a large amount of capital, which is why he was willing to sell the Guang鈥檃n Building to Chu Mo for thirty-nine billion.
Otherwise, the Guang鈥檃n Building, as the most important investment of Zhengyuan Group in Hua Country, would never be considered for sale under normal circumstances.
...
Han Zhengping鈥檚 investments in Britain haven鈥檛 been going smoothly, which is why he is in such a hurry to fly to Britain first thing tomorrow morning.
At the moment, having heard about Chu Mo鈥檚 relationship with the jewelry queen, he immediately took interest.
Chu Mo originally had plans to lay out his own investments in Britain, but he hadn鈥檛 found a suitable spokesperson, which is why he had put off these plans until now.
Since Han Zhengping, who also wanted to lay out plans in Britain, happened to be present, Chu Mo decided to catch a ride on his coattails and take a chance.
Chu Mo wanted to use Han Zhengping鈥檚 connections to set up his investment, so he naturally had to show his own strength.
潣梆潣佛潡答潣?co
Otherwise, if he just put in money, he might end up being trapped by others.
He slightly displayed his power now so that Han Zhengping would keep him in mind.
Without any hesitation, Chu Mo reached into his pocket and took out his phone, his fingertips flicking across the screen in search of something, and quickly found the phone number of Britain鈥檚 jewelry queen, Mina.
Setting his wine glass down and relaxing his body, Chu Mo was about to press the call button when he suddenly paused.
He was currently in Capital City of Hua Country, and Mina was in Britain.
There was a time difference between the two places.
Since it was already past eleven o鈥檆lock at night here, would it be too late on her side, and would it disturb her rest?
After a moment鈥檚 hesitation, Chu Mo turned his head and asked the long-haired girl who was approaching him:
鈥淲hat鈥檚 the time difference between Britain and our Capital City? 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
It鈥檚 not late night there now, is it?鈥
Chu Mo spent most of his energy on writing articles during his student days, and he seldom traveled far, let alone thought about going abroad, so he hadn鈥檛 paid much attention to time differences between countries.
He only knew that there was a time difference between Capital City and Britain but was unclear about the specifics.
The long-haired girl, who was becoming closer and closer, with bright eyes, heard Chu Mo鈥檚 words and immediately replied:
鈥淥ur Capital City is seven hours ahead of Britain.
Britain spans two time zones.
Right now, it鈥檚 eleven-twenty-five in the evening here, which means it鈥檚 four-twenty-five in the afternoon over there, so calling now won鈥檛 disturb their rest.鈥
Young Xiao Meng, full of enthusiasm, provided this information.
In a brief moment, while Chu Mo was about to make the call, she quietly asked:
鈥淐hu, what exactly do you do?
I always get the feeling that you鈥檙e quite mysterious.鈥
Hearing this, a smile flickered in Chu Mo鈥檚 eyes, but he did not reply.
Now that the person on the other end of the phone had picked up, he made a silencing gesture to the girl beside him and then spoke into the phone:
鈥淵our Highness, have I disturbed you?鈥
Chu Mo and the jewelry queen Mina were quite close.
The last time she had visited Hua Country, Chu Mo had warmly hosted her, not only ordering jewelry worth over a hundred billion from her but also presenting her with a jewelry necklace worth several hundred million US dollars.
They had their closest encounter on the ninety-fifth floor of the Emperor Xuan Pavilion, and during the opening of the Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store, Mina had come again and Chu Mo had taken a whole day to accompany her.
There were no formalities between Chu Mo and Mina.
With a hint of a smile in his eyes, Chu Mo went straight to the point:
鈥淭he thing is, a friend of mine has run into some trouble in Britain.
His goods have been detained, and the relevant documents just can鈥檛 seem to get approved, so鈥
it would be a great inconvenience, Your Highness.
I鈥檒l have him contact you.
Oh, and I may invest some funds in Britain soon鈥
not much, just three to five hundred billion to start.
As for the final amount of the investment, we鈥檒l discuss it later鈥
Yes鈥
yes, let鈥檚 settle on that.鈥
After hanging up, Chu Mo turned his gaze to the expectant Han Zhengping across from him and said calmly:
鈥淧resident Han, you can rest easy.
As long as there are no problems with your goods, the clearance documents will come through quickly.
You need not worry too much.鈥
At these words, even Han Zhengping, with his net worth in the trillions, couldn鈥檛 help but spread a smile across his face.
The value of his batch of goods wasn鈥檛 too great, just a few billion, but if they couldn鈥檛 be released, violating the contract would result in substantial compensation losses for him.
Moreover, Zhengyuan Group鈥檚 reputation would take a hit.
Now with Chu Mo stepping in, the problem that had been troubling him was smoothly resolved, which was certainly an unexpected joy for Han Zhengping.
With a solemn expression and raising his glass sincerely, Han Zhengping said earnestly:
鈥淐hu, you鈥檝e really helped me out this time.
With Princess Mina stepping in, the goods are secure.
This will save me at least several billion in losses, and our Zhengyuan Group鈥檚 reputation is preserved.鈥
